ABOUT  OUR 

FINISHES 


OAK  MANTELS 

With  the  exception  of  the  mission  designs,  all  of  onr  oak 
mantels  are  finished  in  Golden  Oak,  color  similar  to  illustration 
on  reverse  side  of  this  sheet.  The  mantels  that  are  made 
quartered  oak  throughout  will  show  the  quartered  oak  flakes  in 
the  grain  of  the  wood.  Those  made  of  selected  oak,  which  term 
means  plain  or  straight  oak,  do  not  show  this  flaked  figure  except 
on  the  columns  and  such  other  parts  as  may  be  made  in  quartered 
oak. 

The  mission  mantels  are  all  made  of  straight  oak,  which  is 
proper,  and  the  stock  finish  carried  is  Weathered  Oak.  Other 
mission  finishes,  however,  such  as  Antwerp  and  Flemish  Oak, 
can  be  furnished  within  reasonable  extra  time. 

The  woods  in  which  each  mantel  is  made,  the  stock  sizes  and 
finishes  are  all  stated  under  catalog  illustration  and  any  devia¬ 
tion  therefrom  will  be  charged  for  at  an  extra  price.  The  ad¬ 
ditional  charges  for  such  work  will  be  quoted  on  receipt  of  speci¬ 
fications  covering  the  same. 


I  MI  TA  TION  MAHOGANY  MANTELS 

Imitation  mahogany  mantels  are  generally  made  of  birch, 
which  is  a  hard  wood  with  a  grain  similar  to  genuine  mahogany. 
In  some  of  the  cheaper  mantels  white  wood  and  Tennessee  maple 
are  used  for  mahogany,  making  a  very  rich  and  handsome  imita¬ 
tion  of  that  wood.  The  colored  illustration  on  reverse  side  of  this 
sheet  is  a  direct  reproduction  from  a  piece  of  genuine  mahogany 
and  shows  stock  color  of  finish  for  the  mantels  made  in  that  wood 
and  also  for  the  imitation  mahogany  mantels.  If  special  finishes  in 
lighter  or  darker  shades  are  wanted,  a  sample  must  be  submitted 
and  an  additional  two  weeks’  time  given  in  which  to  furnish  the 
same. 

Stock  shade  of  finish  will  always  be  sent  unless  otherwise 
ordered.

EVIDENCE 


HOW  KING  MANTELS  ARE  MADE 

King  Mantels  are  made  from  facilities  unsurpassed.  Their  home  is  located  in  the 
finest  belt  of  hardwood  timber  in  the  United  States  and  in  this  same  radius  is  found 
the  coal  that  is  used  in  the  factory  where  they  are  made,  two  important  factors  in  pro¬ 
ducing  the  best  mantels  at  lowest  cost. 

M A  TERIAL 

In  the  manufacture  of  our  mantels  only  the  most  select  stock  of  lumber  is  used,  and 
on  account  of  the  greater  volume  of  our  output,  we  have  advantages  that  are  impossible 
with  small  factories  and  others  not  so  favorably  located.  In  addition  to  a  large  saw  mill 
operated  in  connection  with  the  factory,  contracts  are  held  with  a  number  of  outside 
mills  for  their  entire  output  of  strictly  high  grade  lumber,  especially  selected  by 
thoroughly  competent  men.  This  lumber,  after  being  air  dried  not  less  than  twelve 
months,  is  put  through  the  most  thorough  and  scientific  dry  kilns  so  that  when  it  comes 
out  it  is  then  in  proper  shape  for  the  machine  department. 

WORKMA  NSHIP 

The  lumber  is  then  taken  charge  of  by  cabinet  men,  of  long  years’  experience  who 
are  especially  skilled  in  the  manufacture  of  mantels,  thereby  insuring  perfect  joints  and 
mitres  and  an  absolutely  smooth  surface,  the  most  essential  thing  for  the  high  grade 
finish  for  which  KING  MANTELS  have  so  long  been  noted. 

FINISH 

While  KING  MANTELS  have  a  well  established  reputation  for  finish,  which  per¬ 
haps  requires  no  comment,  it  may  be  of  interest  to  our  patrons  to  know  how  the  splendid 
results  are  produced.  The  first  step  is  to  stain  the  mantel,  for  which  purpose  is  used  a 
special  imported  stain,  the  benefit  of  which  is  not  at  first  apparent  to  our  customers,  as 
the  cheaper  kinds  look  just  as  well  to  start  with  but,  like  the  cheaply  finished  photograph, 
the  mantel  finished  with  the  other  stain  soon  loses  its  brilliancy  and  tone,  whereas  ours 
is  permanent. 

After  the  mantel  is  stained,  it  is  carefully  filled,  particular  care  being  taken  to  rub 
the  filler  deep  into  the  pores  of  the  wood.  This,  like  the  foundation  of  a  house,  is  a  very 
important  process  but  one  that  by  many  is  often  neglected.  After  being  filled,  the  mantel 
is  sandpapered  carefully  and  is  then  thoroughly  cleansed  of  dust  particles  with  com¬ 
pressed  air  and  sent  to  the  finishing  room,  which  is  dustproof.  There  it  receives  the 
first  coat  of  varnish  which  we  have  especially  prepared  for  this  purpose.  It  then  goes 
through  the  same  process  for  the  additional  coats,  which  vary  from  three  to  five,  owing 
to  the  style  of  the  mantel. 

If  the  mantels  are  extra  gloss  finish,  they  are  then  ready  for  shipment,  but  if  of  the 
high  grade  piano  polish,  they  are  taken  to  the  polishing  department  where,  after  being 
first  rubbed  with  pumice  stone  and  water,  the  wood  is  then  cleansed  of  all  particles  of 
pumice  stone  and  the  mantels  set  aside  to  dry.  After  being  allowed  to  stand  for  two  or 
three  days,  they  are  then  carefully  rubbed  with  rotten  stone  and  a  very  fine  polish  made 
from  a  secret  formula,  which  not  only  gives  them  a  very  brilliant  surface,  bringing  out 
all  the  beautiful  effects  of  the  wood,  but  a  finish  that  is  a  credit  to  the  makers  and 
will  stand  the  test  of  time. 

RESULT  AND  GUARANTEE 

From  log  to  finished  mantel,  our  work  bears  the  severest  inspection  and,  after  being- 
prepared  for  shipment,  it  is  sent  out  under  the  guarantee  that,  if  not  entirely  as  repre¬ 
sented  or  even  better,  your  money  back  without  question  and  we  pay  the  freight  both 

ways.

No.  719.  Quaintly  Characteristic  of  Our  Grandmothers’  Time. 

Genuine  Mahogany  Only. 

Height,  6  feet  2  inches.  Plain  French  Mirror,  14  x  48  inches.

Opening  in  Mantel,  width  42  inches,  height  42  inches. 

The  cabinet  of  this  mantel  is  shaped  very  similar  to  the  tops  of  the  old  mahogany  bureaus  so  prized 
by  collectors  of  antiques,  and  like  these,  it  is  also  constructed  of  genuine  mahogany.  While  the  workmen 
of  that  period  were  artisans  of  the  highest  skill,  yet  in  the  matter  of  finish  they  are  surpassed  by  modern 
methods,  and  the  “De  Luxe”  polish  that  this  mantel  receives  would  have  made  one  of  the  old  school  open 
his  eyes  in  wonder.  Combining  the  old  with  the  new,  we  offer  in  this  a  very  desirable  production.

Mission  Mantels  are  becoming  more  popular  every  season.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  new  designs 
in  our  large  catalog  but  show  only  two  in  this,  one  of  which  is  illustrated  above.  As  can  be  seen,  this  mantel

No.  716.  A  Lady  Suggested  It.  Our  Artist  Designed  It. 

Quartered  Oak,  Birch  or  Imitation  Mahogany. 

Height,  6  feet  5  inches.  Beveled  French  Mirror,  18  x  46  inches. 

Width,  5  feet.  Tile  Projection,  5  inches. 

Opening  in  Mantel,  width  42  inches,  height  42  inches. 

“King  Mantel”  No.  716  was  the  suggestion  of  a  lady  in  Texas,  who  requested  one  of  our  designers, 
who  happened  to  be  in  her  city,  to  get  up  something  with  statuary  columns,  curved  opening  and  shaped 
glass — a  mantel  not  too  heavy  but  strictly  out  of  the  ordinary  and  entirely  different  from  anything  else 
on  the  market,  the  mantel  being  intended  for  one  of  the  best  rooms  in  a  $40,000.00  home.  The  instructions 
were  carried  out  and  the  result  is  shown  here.  “We  take  off  our  hats  to  the  lady.”  Our  designer  himself 
admits  that  this  mantel  is  the  best  effort  he  has  ever  made.

No.  711.  A  Mantel  That  Will  Brighten  the  Room.

Rather  stylish  in  appearance?  Yes,  that’s  true;  and  have  you  noticed  that  the  mantel  hasn’t  a  single 
piece  of  carving?  Look  again,  and  you  will  see  that  there  are  no  fancy  mouldings-  just  plain  suriaces 
everywhere,  all  of  which  we  want  to  say  here  are  the  finest  selection  of  finely  figured  quartered  oak  that 
money  can  buy,  and  a  better  finish  no  factory  can  produce.  Can  be  had  with  square  cornered,  instead  of 
shield  shaped  mirror,  if  preferred.  Shelf  ornaments  are,  of  course,  not  included  at  price  quoted,  being 
used  merely  to  show  depth  of  shelves.

King  Mantels 

Are  often  copied  by  others 
in  the  design  of  the  mantel. 
In  material,  workmanship 
and  finish,  however,  they 
fail,  for  there  is  but  one 
King  Quality  and  this  they 
cannot  produce.  Read  on

No.  640.  Prettier  Than  the  Picture. 

Quartered  Oak,  Birch  or  Imitation  Mahogany. 


Height,  6  feet  10  inches.  Beveled  French  Mirror,  18x36  inches. 

Width,  4  feet  10  inches  to  S  feet.  Tlle  Projection,  4  inches. 

Opening  in  Mantel,  width  42  inches,  height  39  inches. 

We  want  you  to  notice  what  a  handsome  mantel  you  are  getting  here  for  $23.90.  Every  piece  of  it  is 
made  from  the  finest  grade  of  Quartered  Oak  that  the  market  affords  and  the  Golden  Oak  Finish  is  as 
fine  as  on  your  piano.  The  shape  of  upper  shelf  is  in  harmony  with  oval  mirror  and  the  pilaster  shelves 
are  of  good  size,  giving  plenty  of  space  for  any  articles  that  may  be  placed  thereon.  Think  how  dainty 
this  mantel  with  a  light  blue  or  cream  tile  would  look  in  a  bed  room  or,  if  you  were  to  use  a  dark  green 
or  brown  tile,  what  a  pretty  outfit  it  would  make  for  a  small  dining  room.  .

Opening  in  Mantel,  width  42  inches,  height  39  inches. 

This  is  a  mantel  we  find  difficult  to  keep  in  stock  or  even  on  our  sample  room  floor.  Almost  every 
one  who  sees  the  mantel  likes  it  not  only  on  account  of  its  pretty  lines  of  construction,  but  because 
the  wood  is  so  choice,  the  finish  so  fine  and  the  general  appearance  so  neat  that  they  can  see  its  value 
at  a  glance.  May  we  book  your  order  for  one?  If  not  even  better  than  we  claim,  you  may  have  your 
money  back  after  you  have  seen  it.

No.  642.  An  Elegant  Pilaster  Mantel. 

Quartered  Oak,  Birch  or  Imitation  Mahogany. 

Height,  7  feet  4  inches.  Beveled  French  Mirror,  18  x  36  inches. 

Width,  4  feet  10  inches  to  5  feet.  Tile  Projection,  4  inches. 

Opening  in  Mantel,  width  42  inches,  height  39  inches. 

The  upper  shelf  on  this  mantel  is  heavily  swelled  and  is  of  sufficient  depth  to  be  of  service,  but  by  far 
the  most  attractive  feature  about  the  design  is  the  shelves  on  pilaster  columns  at  either  side.  These  shelves 
are  wide  and  deep  and  may  be  used  for  statuary,  vases,  etc.,  or  even  for  electroliers  if  the  mantel  is  to  be 
placed  in  Parlor,  Dining  Room  or  Hall.  Mirror  frame  is  recessed  from  front  of  mantel  3  inches,  giving 
extra  depth  to  shelves.  Stock  Finish  is  Golden  Oak,  with  our  famous  “De  Luxe”  piano  finish.

We  do  not  believe  there  is  anything  on  the  market  in  a  square  column  base  that  is  quite  so  pretty 
as  this  one.  Certainly  it  would  be  hard  to  find  a  mantel  with  more  graceful  lines  of  construction.  When 
you  add  to  the  beauty  of  design  the  choice  selection  of  matched  stock,  the  superior  workmanship  and 
our  superfine  or  “De  Luxe”  finish,  you  can  see  that  the  mantel  as  a  whole  is  a  very  desirable  production. 
It  would  look  well  in  either  Library,  Dining  Room  or  Hall.

Height,  5  feet  5  inches.  Tile  Projection,  3  inches. 

Width,  5  feet.  Opening,  width  42  inches,  height  42  inches. 

We  have  improved  this  mantel  so  much  that  it  was  our  intention  to  show  it  with  a  new  cut,  but  time 
would  not  permit  before  the  catalog  went  to  press.  The  improvements  are:  Plain  mouldings  and  plain 
brackets  of  choicest  Quartered  Oak,  Cross  Band  Veneered,  no  carvings  but  all  plain  surfaces,  and  the 
height  of  mantel  increased  one  inch  greater  than  this  cut  shows.  The  width  across  front  of  columns  is 
5 14  inches,  the  depth  of  columns  at  outside  5  inches  and  the  depth  of  top  of  shelf  11  inches. 

The  new  mantel  is  25%  prettier  than  the  old  and  costs  more  to  manufacture,  being  of  heavier  pro¬ 
portions  and  of  more  choice  stock,  but  we  have  made  no  advance  in  price.  We  guarantee  it  to  be  the 
prettiest  mantel  of  its  class  that  is  on  the  market  today.

The  ancient  orders  of  architecture  have  never  yet  been  improved  upon  and,  when  you  choose  this 
mantel  with  its  plain,  simple  lines  of  construction,  you  have  something  that  is  not  only  correct  now  but 
will  remain  so  as  long  as  homes  are  built  or  mantels  are  used.  The  columns  are  tapered  and,  while  it  is 
proper  that  these  should  be  fluted  as  shown,  yet  fcr  these  who  prefer  them,  we  will  furnish  plain  veneered 
columns  instead.

This  mantel  is  made  with  what  is  known  as  the  curved  pilaster  effect,  and  it  is  really  quite  captivat¬ 
ing  in  appearance.  As  can  be  seen  from  illustration,  the  pilaster  columns  have  serpentine  curves,  and  the 
shelf  and  crown-board  are  also  carried  out  in  harmony  with  same.  The  shield  mirror  is  one  of  the 
prettiest  shapes  we  have  ever  put  in  a  mantel.

Some  customers  want  mantels  with  rounded  shelves ;  others  want  them  square.  Some  prefer  columns 
running  all  the  way  up,  while  others  will  have  no  other  way  than  with  two  sets  of  columns ;  that  is,  one 
pair  below  and  another  pair  above  lower  shelf — the  construction  that  is  here  shown.  We  might  as  well 
please  all,  so  we  make  many  patterns,  your  mantels  among  them.  We  are  sure  you  can  pick  them  out.

The  first  customer  to  whom  we  showed  this  mantel  ordered  six  of  them  and  said  it  was  the  best  plain 
oak  mantel  for  the  money  he  had  ever  seen.  This  opinion  is  evidently  shared  by  others,  for  the  sale  has 
been  phenomenally  large.  Our  price  is  the  same  for  oak  and  imitation  mahogany,  the  mantel  being  made 
both  ways  and  having  our  Extra  Gloss  Finish.

From  a  concern  with  no  reputation  for  quality  you  would  not  expect  much  of  a  mantel  at  price  asked 
for  this  one,  would  you?  With  KING  QUALITY,  however,  it  is  different.  You  must  know  that  this 
mantel  is  all  right,  else  we  could  not  afford  to  offer  it  under  our  name.  Let  us  tell  you  why  it  is  right : 
First,  every  piece  of  wood  in  it  is  of  the  very  best  selected  oak ;  second,  the  columns  are  quartered  oak 
veneer  and  are  tapered,  a  pretty  feature  exclusive  with  us  on  low-priced  mantels  ;  concluding,  the  workman¬ 
ship  and  finish  are  the  same  as  on  other  designs  costing  double  the  money.  Can  you  make  a  better 
selection  at  price  asked?

KNOX  UNMOUNTED  GRATES 


WITH  REGULAR  SUMMER  FRONT 


WITH  “ELK”  SUMMER  FRONT 


Outside  dimensions,  24^2  inches  wide,  30%  inches  high.  Size  of  grate,  20  inches. 
Summer  Front  of  Heavy  Steel  and  made  in  five  handsome  designs.  If  any 
preference  so  state  when  ordering.  For  open  view  of  grate, 
see  Mantel  No.  736  on  opposite  page. 


Some  “Grate’’  Points  to  Consider 


First:  You  want  a  good  heater. 

Second:  You  want  a  grate  that  is  perfectly  clean  in  every  respect, 
one  that  has  good  combustion,  will  burn  the  coal  entirely  to  ashes  and 
leave  no  clinkers  or  cinders. 

Third:  You  want  a  coal  saver;  that  is,  a  grate  that  gets  all  the  heat 
out  of  a  certain  amount  of  coal  and  no  heat  wasted. 


All  of  the  above  we  claim  for  our  Knox  Grate,  and  this,  coupled  with  the  fact  that  it 
is  of  a  very  artistic  pattern,  makes  it  one  of  the  most  attractive  and  desirable  fireplaces  for 
the  price  that  is  on  the  market  at  the  present  time. 

We  quote  grate  complete  with  Summer  Front  from  the  fact  that  grates,  as  a  general 
rule,  are  in  use  only  about  five  months  out  of  the  year,  and  for  dosing  up  the  fireplace  when 
grate  is  not  in  use  nothing  is  prettier  or  more  attractive  than  an  artistic  Summer  Front. 
Should  Summer  Front  not  be  wanted  with  the  Knox  Grate,  deduct  $1.00  net  from  prices 
given  where  plated  finish  is  specified,  or  $0.75  net  where  grate  is  specified  to  be  in  black 
finish.  Summer  Fronts  are  always  sent  unless  otherwise  ordered. 

Our  customers  will  note  that  with  a  number  of  mantels  the  grates  are  listed  in  black 
finish.  This  is  not  a  cheap  black  varnish  like  used  on  many  low  priced  grates,  but  is  a  hand¬ 
some  wrought  iron  finish  and  is  generally  taken  with  these  lower  priced  mantels.  Where 
plated  finish,  however,  is  wanted  instead,  add  $1.00  net  to  prices  given.  We  always  send 
grates  in  finish  that  is  quoted  with  mantel,  unless  otherwise  ordered.

FOR  THE  PRACTICAL  BUYER 

Our  King  Grate  has  long  been  known  as  the  heaviest,  best  and  most  complete 
mounted  grate  on  the  market.  It  still  holds  this  record.  The  majority  of  customers 
prefer  a  grate  of  this  kind  but  many  feel  that  they  cannot  afford  the  price  we  are  com¬ 
pelled  to  get  for  the  King  owing  to  the  heavy  and  expensive  construction  of  same.  To 
meet  this  demand  we  have  gotten  up  the  Bismarck  Grate  as  here  shown.  We  believe 
it  to  be  the  best  grate  of  its  class  on  the  market  today.  As  will  be  noted,  the  grate  is 
built  altogether  in  one  piece,  of  heavy  construction  throughout,  yet  the  price  is  little 
more  than  that  of  an  unmounted  pattern.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  cost  is  practically  nothing 
more  when  you  consider  the  following: 

First,  you  save  the  price  of  fire  brick  which  are  never  quoted  with  an  unmounted 
grate.  The  Bismarck,  being  built  altogether  in  one  piece,  sets  in  the  fireplace  just  like 
a  stove  and  requires  no  fire  brick. 

Second,  you  don’t  have  to  pay  for  having  the  fireplace  lined  up  with  fire  brick. 
Instead,  simply  make  the  opening  to  fit  the  Bismarck  Grate  and  wire  the  grate  in  place. 
It  is  built  already  set. 

Third,  you  will  have  no  experiments  in  adjusting  the  throat  of  the  flue  to  throw  the 
heat  out  into  the  room.  The  throat  of  every  Bismarck  Grate  is  built  at  exactly  the  proper 
angle  and,  if  your  flue  is  right,  will  always  draw  and  never  smoke. 

Fourth,  an  unmounted  grate,  which,  as  you  know,  consists  of  simply  the  frame, 
summer  front,  basket  and  ash  screen,  of  course  has  no  dampers.  The  Bismarck  has 
upper  and  lower  dampers,  identically  the  same  as  the  King  Grate,  by  means  of  which 
the  fire  can  be  easily  regulated  and  controlled  at  all  times.  The  basket  also  has  dump¬ 
ing  bottom. 

When  the  Bismarck  Grate  is  wanted  instead  of  the  Knox  add  $6.00  extra  net  for 
the  No.  1  size  shown  above.  We  also  have  this  grate  in  24  inch  size  as  the  No.  2  Bis¬ 
marck  (see  page  21)  for  which  $7.50  must  be  added  if  taken  instead  of  the  Knox  Grate.

This  is  our  famous  King  Mounted  Grate  which  is  built  together  all  complete  in  one  piece  and  sets 
m  the  fireplace  just  like  a  stove.  Has  heavy  tile  back  and  sides,  double  draught  dampers,  slide  in  both 
fire  front  and  ash  screen,  shaking  and  dumping  bottom  and  many  other  desirable  features.  We  guarantee 
the  grate  in  every  sense  of  the  word  and  it  is  beyond  doubt  the  heaviest  and  best  pattern  of  a  mounted 
grate  on  the  market  today. 

When  the  King  Grate  is  wanted  instead  of  the  Knox,  add  $9.00  extra  net  for  the  No.  1  size  as 
shown  above,  or  $10.00  extra  net  for  No.  2  size  as  shown  with  No.  472  Mantel  on  page  11.  We  also  have 
this  grate  in  24-inch  size  as  No.  3  (see  page  31)  and  will  furnish  instead  of  the  Knox  Grate  at  $11.00 
extra  net. 

Either  plated  or  black  finish  sent,  according  to  mantel  with  which  grate  is  ordered,  and  summer  fronts 
are  always  sent  unless  advices  to  the  contrary  are  received. 


TOP  TILES  AND  FIRE  BRICK 


We  show  here  what  is  known  as  a  Fire  Back 
or  Top  Tile,  which  is  used  in  modern  grate  setting 
for  forming  the  throat  of  fireplace.  These  backs  are 
made  of  a  particularly  tough  Kentucky  clay,  famous 
for  its  heat  resisting  qualities,  and  are  carried  in 
stock  in  all  sizes  suitable  for  grates  from  16  inches 
to  27  inches.  They  should  be  placed  at  back  of 
fireplace,  a  little  more  than  half  way  up,  and  brought 
forward  from  the  top  at  an  angle  of  about  45  degrees. 

We  also  have  smooth  pressed  fire-proof  brick  of  a 
very  fine  quality  to  match  the  top  tiles  and  carry  a 
large  stock  on  hand  at  all  times. 

Mounted  Grates,  such  as  the  King  or  Bismarck, 
do  not  require  either  Fire  Brick  or  Top  Tile,  as  these 
grates  are  built  together  all  in  one  piece  ready  to 
push  back  into  the  fireplace.  All  unmounted  grates, 
however,  such  as  Knox,  Zero  and  similar  patterns 
should  have  some  good  fire-proof  lining. 

We  do  not  quote  Fire  Brick  or  Top  Tile  with 
any  of  our  unmounted  grates  from  the  fact  that 
these  articles  are  really  a  common  commodity  that 
can  generally  be  purchased  in  almost  any  hardware 
store  at  a  less  price  than  our  customers  can  afford  to  pay  us  and  have  delivered,  as  they  are  very  heavy 
freight. 

For  the  benefit,  however,  of  those  who  cannot  otherwise  obtain  articles  mentioned,  we  will  furnish  the 
same  at  the  following  prices : 

Top  Tiles  in  sizes  from  16  inches  up  to  and  including  22  inches  in  length  are  worth  50  cents  each. 
Above  this  size,  up  to  and  including  27  inches  in  length,  the  price  is  60  cents. 

The  price  of  Fire  Brick  is  3  cents  each. 

Twenty  Brick  are  required  for  20  inch  grates  and  twenty-four  Brick  for  24  inch  grates.  Only  one 
Top  Tile  is  required  for  each  grate. 

No  shipment  will  include  either  Fire  Brick  or  Top  Tile  unless  particularly  specified  on  order  at 
prices  given  above,  which  are  net  in  every  case  for  goods  f.  o.  b.  cars  Knoxville,  Tenn. 

Special  prices  on  car  load  lots  of  either  straight  Fire  Brick  or  mixed  Fire  Brick  and  Top  Tile  will 
be  named  to  dealers  on  application.

The  Frames  here  shown  are  in¬ 
tended  for  open  Fireplaces  only,  being 
simply  a  narrow  band  to  go  around  the 
fireplace  opening,  to  give  a  finished 
appearance  to  same  and  hide  the  edges 
of  the  tile. 

The  frames  are  made  in  only  two  sizes,  known  as  16  and  17  tile.  The 
16  tile  size  measures  24 Yz  inches  wide  by  3 0%  inches  high,  outside  measure; 
the  17  inch  tile  size  just  6  inches  larger  in  width  or  30^4  inches  wide  by  30J4 
inches  high.  Now,  remember  this  is  outside  measure;  the  inside  measure  is  determined  by  the  width 
of  frame.  Both  frames  shown  above  are  \l/z  inches  wide;  therefore,  the  inside  measure  of  the  16  tile 
frame  will  be  21  Yz  inches  wide  by  28^4  inches  high,  and  that  of  the  17  tile  size  27J4  inches  wide  by  28J4 
inches  high. 

If  frames  are  made  to  order  in  any  size  other  than  regular,  on  up  to  36  inches  in  width,  there  will 
be  an  extra  charge  of  $1.50  net,  which  must  be  added  to  prices  given  above.  Make  your  fireplaces  such 
size  that  when  they  are  lined  up  with  fire  brick  on  the  final  finishing,  the  regular  size  frame  may  be  used. 

Always  specify  size  wanted.  If  no  size  is  stated  on  order,  we  will  send  16  tile  frame  for  all  man¬ 
tels  having  openings  36  inches  wide,  or  17  tile  frame  for  mantels  with  openings  42  inches  wide  or  over.

The  Andirons  here  shown  are  of  the  best  grade  of  Brass  with  strong  iron  fuel  bars,  and  the  feet 
are  cast  of  brass  in  one  piece.  There  is  no  plating  to  wear  off ;  therefore,  the  andirons  may  be  shined  up 
fifty  years  from  now  and  look  as  bright  as  the  day  when  purchased,  just  as  do  the  old  brasses  of  our 
grandmothers’  time,  many  of  which  are  found  in  the  homes  of  today.  Design  No.  87  shows  the  true 
old  colonial  style  and  is  extra  heavy.  Both  patterns  are  most  excellent  values  at  prices  asked.

One  of  the  most  important  departments  of  our  business  is  that  of  floor  and  wall  tile. 

In  a  catalog  for  general  distribution,  like  “Evidence,”  it  would  be  too  expensive  for  us 
to  show  in  colors  the  many  different  designs  that  we  have  to  offer.  We  are,  therefore,  merely 
calling  attention  on  this  page  to  the  fact  that  our  facilities  for  furnishing  floor  and  wall  tile 
of  every  kind  are  unsurpassed,  and  we  will  submit  designs,  in  colors,  to  any  interested  party 
on  receipt  of  description  of  their  requirements. 

Our  Ce  ramie  Mosaic  unglazed  tile,  of  which  two  designs  are  here  shown,  are  burned  at 
an  exceedingly  high  temperature,  and  reports  of  scientific  tests  (copies  of  which  will  be  furn¬ 
ished  on  request)  have  proved  beyond  question  their  durability  over  all  other  flooring 
materials. 

These  designs  are  manufactured  in  the  following  colors:  White,  silver  gray,  chocolate, 
red,  buff,  salmon,  black,  celadon,  light  blue,  dark  blue,  green,  peacock  and  pink. 

The  prices  given  above,  however,  are  for  body  in  white  or  red  only,  with  border  in 
black,  red,  buff  or  chocolate.  For  border  in  silver  gray,  salmon,  celadon,  light  blue  or 
dark  blue,  add  three  cents  to  average  net  price  per  square  foot,  quoted  above.  For  green, 
peacock  or  pink  in  border,  add  five  cents  net  per  square  foot.  The  dots  in  body  of 
floor  No.  40  will  be  sent  to  match  color  in  border  without  extra  charge.  Where 
special  colors  are  wanted  for  body,  prices  will  be  quoted  on  application.  As  a  sugges¬ 
tion  to  our  customers,  we  will  say  that  the  designs  in  black  and  white,  just  as  shown, 
or  with  body  white  and  border  in  red,  make  the  most  attractive  combinations. 

For  bath  rooms,  operating  rooms  in  hospitals,  etc.,  we  have  an  alabaster  white 
vitreous  2  inch  hexagon  tile,  impervious  to  all  stains  or  moisture,  that  makes  an  ideal 
floor.  This  is  an  extra  fine  quality  tile  at  thirty-seven  cents  net  per  square  foot,  of  which 
samples  will  be  sent  on  application. 

In  wall  tiles,  we  can  furnish  all  colors,  shapes  and  sizes  that  are  made,  and  on 
request  will  gladly  submit  special  colored  sketches  suitable  to  your  requirements.  Such 
requests,  however,  should  always  be  accompanied  with  rough  sketches,  giving  size  of 
doors,  windows,  etc.,  in  rooms,  and  exact  dimensions  of  spaces  to  be  tiled. 


ABOUT  OUR  ENAMELED  TILES 

We  offer  best  quality  tiles  for  hearth  and  facing,  any  color,  by  which  we  mean  that 
our  customers  may  make  their  own  selection  of  colors  and  that  the  tile  we  send  will  be 
first  quality  and  no  seconds.  We  emphasize  this  particular  point,  knowing  that  first 
quality  tile  cannot  be  sold  at  a  lower  price  than  we  quote  and  under  no  consideration 
will  we  handle  seconds. 

The  same  color  of  tile  should  be  used  for  both  hearth  and  facing  and  the  hearths 
may  be  had  either  with  or  without  border  as  preferred.  Embossed  tiles  for  facings 
are  extra  and  prices  will  be  quoted  on  application.  The  principal  colors  of  tiles  carried 
in  stock  are  green,  rich  brown,  mottled  onyx,  in  all  colors,  sky  blue,  old  rose,  old  gold, 
cream,  etc.  Kindly  state  preference  when  ordering. 

We  do  not  recommend  that  tile  facings  be  slabbed,  for  this  is  simply  an  unnecessary 
expense,  and  a  more  satisfactory  job  should  really  be  secured  by  putting  up  the  facings 
from  the  loose  tiles.  However,  where  our  customers  feel  that  they  must  have  this  work 
done,  we  will  slab  the  facings  for  cost  of  material,  labor,  extra  boxing,  etc.,  which  will 
be  from  $2.50  to  $4.00  per  facing,  depending  on  the  size  of  same.  Tile  hearths  are  never 
slabbed  in  any  case.
